The weirdest thing about the handwavey Omega classification is how apparently Manifold isn't an Omega. Dude literally talks to the fabric of the universe and it does him favours, like teleporting anywhere, turning invisible, or lending him a little bit of the Sun in a fold-space container. How the gently caress do you top that?

How the gently caress do you top that? I have a feeling there might be an updated list at some point. Dying on Arrakoa apparently makes you "sharper" in some nebulous sense that isn't properly defined but is awesome enough other mutants wanna do it just because, what happens if an Omega dies there?

Does every mutant with some elemental/energy control get enough power creep eventually that they end up in the omega conversation?

Literally the last line of dialogue before he starts doing his sun trick. Either Manifold is going to figure out he is an omega mutant, or that he's going to run into some other Manifold type who can transport entire planets, or move through different universes.

I'd totally forgotten that line. Bizarre. What's the odds that Ewing's setting something up for six or twelve months down the line?

Ewing rules as Hickman’s ancillary guy. Like Tomasi or Tynion on the secondary Batman books.

The two arresting officers are modeled after David Marquez and Justin Ponsor, the artists of the issue. [Ultimate] David Marquez is also seen in the first imgur gallery image as [Ultimate] Brian Michael Bendis's partner, don't know who the officer perp walking [Ultimate] Jonathan Hickman there is though.

I think the most blatant was Gwenpool in Mark Waid's Champions because not only is she doing the one-note joke it's also crashing the attempt the book at making at being socially aware. (I think for police violence in this case.)

She was fine in Thompson's short lived West Coast Avengers. Hastings is the best, but I thought she worked well in that.

Read through Indestructible Hulk and it ends on a cliffhanger despite making it clear that it was the last issue, so I’m assuming it leads into an Avengers book or something but I can’t find any guides that mention it, where should I be looking E: well that was stupidly easy.

Why are comic cover dates one month in the future?

Vincent posted:Why are comic cover dates one month in the future? Cover dates are not the release date. It all goes back to magazine distribution. The way magazines were sold is that a newsstand or market would get a big pile of magazines and they'd pay the distributor for the copies they sold and get refunds for the copies they didn't. But paper is heavy and nobody wants to carry back all of those magazines to the distribution center to be pulped. So what they did was vendors could tear the cover off and just return that for the full refund. The dates on comics and magazines were when the seller was allowed to tear the cover off and return it. Back when newsstand distribution was still a serious thing, this date was about three months after they got the comic. In the 90's, when newsstand distribution was all but dead, comic companies decided to just bring the dates forward to about a month in the future.

I felt like the biggest jerk in the world after I explained that to my friend who gave me a poster with a bunch of August 1985 cover dates on them. I should have kept my mouth shut, but there’s a pedantic nerd in all of us.

This is a long shot, particularly because I never actually even read the comic, but if someone could help me rustle up some panels, I'd be really grateful. The generic outline of the scene I'm looking for is that some mutilated guy (in a trenchcoat and bandages?) is watching TVs through a store window, and the person responsible for mutilating him turns up on TV, and the mutilated guy gets angry and smashes the windows. Broad to the point of useless, right? The part that stuck with me is the character's internal monologue: Something about how the nerve and brain damage he's taken should make anger physiologically impossible, so the rage that he's feeling must be (paraphrasing crazy hard) "a gift raining down from God". Something to that effect. The scene made an impact on me, even if I've lost some of the specifics over the years. I know it sounds like it, but I'm pretty sure this isn't Darkman. For some reason I actually think it might be a manga. Does this ring a bell for anybody?

Freex or Ultraforce maybe? There was an undead guy with some bandages in the Ultraverse I think.

Unknown Soldier as well, which was 60s-80s but had a gritty Garth Ennis relaunch in the late 90s and probably had come back again more recently.
